Hannspree, a company that’s no stranger to putting LCD screens in absurd places, has just pioneered a leather purse LCD TV. You read that right. Leather. Purse. LCD. TV. Purse. TV. LCD. Leather. TV. Purse. LCD. Purse. TV. Italian Leather. 9.6-inches. US$259. You don’t want one. [Hannspree via Shiny Shiny]
If anyone does weird LCD TVs, it’s Hannspree. And, while I can understand the importance of fire truck- and french fries-shaped TVs, I am not entirely convinced about Time Square, a 12-inch LCD TV with built-in clock, thermometer and hygrometer, whose dials swing open to reveal speakers. More »
HANNspree’s computer display division, HANNS.G, announced five new LCD displays that are being touted as “Vista certified,” whatever the hell that means. The big beauty is a 22-inch HW-223DPB that displays at 1680×1050 and has a nice 5ms response time and 1,000:1 contrast ratio. It has DVI inputs, but includes a DVI to component adapter for all of your gaming needs.
Also announced are two 17-inchers and three 19-inch models, all varying in specs and colors. Surprisingly, the prices are very reasonable. The 17-inch models are $160, the 19-inch models are between $200 and $230 and the big 22-inch beast is only $330 (!!). Too bad they aren’t shaped like firetrucks or french fries. –Travis Hudson
